On August 06, 2017 at approximately 11:58 A.M. deputies of the
Sheriff’s Office responded to a serious personal injury accident at the
intersection of Maryland Route 261 and Ponds Wood Road in Huntingtown. A preliminary investigation revealed that a
2009 Ford Flex, operated by Ms. Roxana Elizabeth Villatoro, a 26 year old
female from Washington, DC, was traveling eastbound on Ponds Wood Rd. At the same time, Mr. Melvin Douglas Harris,
a 66 year old male from Huntingtown, was operating a 1998 Harley FLH Motorcycle
northbound on Maryland Route 261. The operator
of the Ford failed to stop and yield at the stop sign for traffic on Ponds Wood
Rd at Route 261. The Ford entered the
travel path of the Harley and was struck on the passenger side. The operator of the motorcycle was ejected
and received serious injuries from the collision. He was transported to Baltimore Shock Trauma
by Maryland State Police Aviation. An
infant from the Ford was transported to Children’s Hospital with minor
injuries. The remaining passengers from
the Ford were transported to Calvert Memorial by Ambulance for minor injuries. At this time it appears that the failure of
the operator of the Ford to stop and yield at a stop sign is the contributing
factor to the collision; however, the investigation is on-going. Anyone with additional information about the
accident is asked to contact Sgt. Phelps, of the Crash Reconstruction Team, at
410-535-2800 or via e-mail at: phelpsts@co.cal.md.us.
